Infact I don't even like that fact that instt like MDI is asking for 10000 bucks. But the point is 10000 is manageable. so nitie can also reduce the amount to a manageable 15000-20000.
Also if you'll read all my posts, I have never talked about this gangism thing per se.
Although initially I thought that subbu's plan might work, but later it sucks.
I am aware that after getting all the letters from different individual letters from selected candidates nitie will just show this .

The reason I posted here and encouraged others to do the same is that some nitie fellas will always read it and this point will surely come up in their discussion.
Let other instt go to hell and lets just talk about NITIE.
WON'T YOU AGREE THAT THIS IS NOT FAIR? Think from an unbiased point of view. Two aspirants have already posted their situation and I am sure that there are plenty who are facing the same problem.
So instead of personally criticising them, why don't you and all the NITIE aspirants ask NITIE seniors to do something.
Do something good dude.
And hey I really am nice.
Kindly don't involve me any more. I was already out, but you forced me to come back.
bye again.

hey.. sorry pal.. wasnt bashing u or anything.. for me "Piyushisnice" is just another user like hells bells..and agoondoo! . i dont know u .. other than as a user id.

well.. thats just the way i talk.. sounds harsh at times.. but then.. i guess.. when i praise something i like.. i should equally express regret abt things that i dont like.. i mean in the inputs by the various userids..

anyways.. I dont think that NITIE is doing anything wrong.. they are not begging the junta to join.. its a call that the people hv to take..

i m speaking from an unbaised view.. they dont mind if only 80 people join ( as was the case in 2003 i guess).. thats their mettle !.. why should they even bother when the other instis are gonna give out their results.. why should they duplicate/triplicate their admin work by allowing people to take admits and then walking out coz some so called higer ranked insti main admit mil gaya !.. not fair boss.. not real..

and why do u think nitie will loose out on good students.. do u think the top 91 + 50 are good.. and others are bad ???.. ha ha.. i m No. 4 on NITIE list.. does that make me good.. and that i m rejected by some stupid insti make me bad ?.. chill.. i think.. sparing the few CA+ CFA types.. or the GOD like all rounders.. everybody else is almost the same caliber.. so NITIE is not loosin out even if all the 91 gang up and dont pay the fees..

anyways.. i hope the best way out is
* Pay up the fees of MDI ( for those who hv calls) .. cos only 10k is being deducted.. or SP Jain.. dont know what they are gonna deduct.. .. and then wait for iim calls. ..
* else take a risk .. and just wait for IIM calls.. but this is pretty tough.. even i wouldnt hv dared it..

Mr. Nitie senior,
I never said that we have to file a case....read the post properly.... I was replying to a person who said that we have to file a case in the court ...
Dont get biased my friend towards NITIE....
You friends r saying why these institutes should wait for IIM results....Think...these 2 r not independent sets. eg..IAS results need not wait for IIM results because those 2 r independent.
But the ppl who r writing CAT and applying for NITIE r common. As i already said for ppl like me to see at the bigger picture of next 45 years of my career also, i have to pay money which i dont have. I cannot take loan from the bank twice.
So, being a gove institute denying a seat for ppl for mercenary reasons is bad.....
I still say that they have done everything in a planned manner to earn money and this is a bad trick...

ha ha.. i m not a NITIE senior.. m a humble student.. whos gonna join NITIe this year.. just that i m more clear on what i want and where i want to go.. thats it.. chill bill..

Mercenary.. complex word.. dont really know what it means..

[subrahmanyam]

So finally i have decided.....Im going to leave NITIE and pay for MDI.....

These NITIE ppl are too much...and by charging hefty fees , they have lost a bright prospective student (myself )to another similar institute MDI....
So, good for another person in the waiting list
cheers,

ronniekher: So basically its all about ' how dare a Tier 2 institute do this ?' kinda attitude. Guys,let's grow up... just because its NITIE n not an IIM, its got to do whatever we say ? Just because its a so-called Tier 2 insti, we b-school aspirants will run the show ?
Dude, NITIE has never threatened you or anything of that sort... it's simple, either you pay up and risk losing money or take a gamble and hold on. The point is, even if NITIE is doing all this to make some quick bucks, big deal ! Don't all of us pay 1100 bucks a year to appear for CAT ??? Does it cost that much to arrange an exam for a student ???

hey in that 1100 bucks , you get to take the test and apply to 6 topmost institutes!!!! i think its definitely worth it.

besides, lots of good institutes accept the CAT score.

compare this to XLRI. 700 for the test(XAT) and 800 to apply for XLRI (or viceversa). now which idiot would be interested in taking XAT and not applying to XLRI? besides the insitutues which accepts XAT scores to put it mildly are really sad. SP J does accepts XAT scores but it accepts CAT scores as well and on the top of taht doesnt really care about the scores!

so i think the 1100 that the iims charge are well worth it. even iift charges some thousand bucks for its own exam , and the management for the exam is ...cough...cough

i guess ICICI will come up with new type of loan for paying the fees to "backup" institutes and providing free insurance incase of a refund.

and also on the point of the next 53 years of your career blah blah. why get into that kinda liability if you dont know whats going to happen tommorrow? you pick up two loans and if godforbid something happens to you, then your family has it!! i dont think any middleclass person wud be too keen to do such a thing!

Guys, forget abt evrything else and just think of this- what abt the guys who have been waitlisted ??? Just because some of us want evrything in life, should their fate hang in balance ? Don't they deserve a right to know asap abt their chances ? And do you all think they can wait till April-end or whenever the IIM's declare their results ???

The IIM's were the first to have the CAT scores, they started the PI's first... then why shud their rez come out last ???

And Piyush, we guys want to run the show ??? Sorry man, you missed the point .... if running the show means dictating terms to a Centre of Excellence, I wud prefer remaining on the sidelines. As to what I wud have done if I had A,B or C - I didn't even appear for NITIE once I came to know abt MDI cos I know what my preferences are.... and neway, instead of looking at 58,000 I wud look at the bigger picture - the next 43 yrs of my career

Ppl, remember this- life is all abt compromises, you win some you lose some....i've lost a lot of goodwill at work cos of CAT, and so have so many others.....does that mean we work-ex guys file a petition sayin that CAT shud be easier or the cut-off's shud be lower for us ???

well i wont agree with u here. Just fr the fact that an insti belongs to top 10 B-School does not give an option to fleece student. I think 10K is manageable but charging other exorbitant amounts is simply ludicrous. and can u explain me how a particular insti had its last date of form submission just a day before CAT exam.

This thread is not about berating any particular insti, but about protecting student interests. After all i can't see the logic of justifying the 'cut' of such a high amount. n just because sum people may not mind paying even such a high fee, it does not mean tht student sommunity as a whole does not have any qualms in paying the same.

first n foremost, didn't wanna dig up a 9 mth old thread and hence refrained from replyin to the post made in da morning

my entire point here is that the rules and regulations are clear when we apply to colleges. at that time we go ahead and apply to all and sundry, rejoice when we get an admit and then crib when we have to forfeit some amt as part of the cost of moving to some other coll...

see all instis have issues in waitin for the 'elite' ones b4 they decalre their results. and one of em is definitely related to the prestige factor. as students we want everything, we want da best colls and all free of cost. this doesnt work, lets accept that. all of us will have qualms in losin such huge amts no matter what our economic background is. my only point is that when we look at things think in terms of the long-term gains. u mite lose 40 K now, but then in the larger context of ur career, 40 K is peanuts. to the person who was talkin abt unpredictable future n stuff......dude, if u r so frikkin bothered abt whts gonna happen tomorrow, trust me, DONT do an mba ... get into s/w, go onsite earn money. an mba's package is highly dependent on the economy which is well

P.S : I won't be postin in this thread nemore, reminds me of my pre-mdi days and suggest tht lets carry this to the other thread by rahul

[samsite]

nice debate is on here...few of my points
THE WORLD IS NOT A PERFECT PLACE BUT WHY SHY FROM MAKING IT ONE????
1. WHAT DOES ANY INSTITUTE AIM AT AND WHAT ARE THEY FROM??
A. EVERY INSTITUTE BE IT MIT IIT IIM OR ANY OTHER COLLEGE IS FOR IMPARTING EDUCATION.THE SEEKERS F EDUCATION ARE STUDENT(PEOPLE LIKE US)
2.WHO SHOULD INSTITUTE MOST CARE ABOUT??
A.THE GREATEST ASSETS OF INSTIS ARE ITS STUDENTS AND THATS WHY STUDENTS (WHICH ARE AT THE TOP OF PYRAMID WHEN ANY PARTY BE IT FACULTY OR ANYTHING RELATED TO AN INSTI) SHOULD BE GIVEN HIGHEST PRIORITY.
3.WHAT IS MORALLY CORRECT???
A. THEY SAY THAT ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING ..AND I GUESS THIS IS WHAT THE BASIS OF ANY INSTI SHOULD BE AND I HOPE THIS IS WHAT FORMS THR BASIS..
SOME OF MY FRNDS HAD POSTED THAT WHY SHOULD NITIE WAIT FOR IIM.OR ON A LARGER SCALE WHY SHOULD ANY INSTITUTE WAIT FOR IIMS TO TAKE FEES AND RESULTS ..MY POINT IS THAT DO THE INSTIS NOT KNOW THE TRUTH..DUN THEY KNOW WHICH ONE REALLY IS A TOP INSTI AND WHICH B SKOOL THE STUDENTS WANT TO GET THROUGH THE MOST.ITS ALL VERY CLEAR AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE KNOW IT.AND IF THE INSTIS KNOW THIS THEN WHY CANT THEY CURTAIL THE FEE SUBMISSION..I GUESS MAJOR REVENUE OF ANY GUD B SKOOL IS FROM OTHER SOURCES.RATHER THEN FROM STUDENTS..IF THAT IS SO THEN WHY IS THR THE HURRY TO COLLECT FEES.

the sole point is its all in our head..thr r no free lunches in the world but this is exploitation..this is a phenomena much more prevelant in engg coleges then b skools..its a problem everywhere..i guess my frnds will really raise some points which are worth discussing and understanding on this issue..waiting for more of disccuions

I have till now remained a silent spectator to all the stuff going on about Bskools withholding cash etc...on this thread as well as the other 'Bskools minting cash unethically' thread...

I just wanted to say one thing....

The guy who started this thread (subramanyam) is now actually in NITIE...(yep...he is my classmate)... and now...he does not have any problems with NITIE's admission policy.... he is just glad that he got into Nitie...The point I am trying to make is that people's views and perspectives change once u r on the other side of the fence.... so to all those who r indulging in Nitie & mdi bashing....kindly put urself in the bskools mindset and see for urself why they have such an admission policy

coming to nitie's policy...i would like to remind u all that NITIE is an autonomous institute coming under the ministry of HRD.... and since it is also one among the 15 centres of excellence (the other 14 are the 7 IITs, the 6 IIMs and IISc) and is also a 'Institute of National importance' , it gets around 55 crores grant a year....Now why on earth would Nitie want to make a few lakhs 'unethically' by withholding students cash... there is obviously a reason for Nitie or for that matter, any top Bskool to do so.... The reason might be to ensure that the institute has a predecided number of students and if it falls short of that number, it may introduce a waitlist... now what the institute is asking the students to do is to give it (the institute) a commitment to join...else, the institute needs to look elsewhere... agreed...differrent institutes have differrent policies...and it is Nitie's policy that it withholds nearly 50% of the fees paid....but then again...isnt it an informed choice that the student makes...I am sure that noone will be dumb enuf to pay up the fees without reading all the clauses about withdrawal frm the course etc...(in case someone pays up without reading all these...god only knows what he/she will do if they have to sign a contract during the course of there career...)


So, all I got to say is...differrent institutes have differrent policies...take it or leave it...noone frm the institute forced u to pay up...did they...it is all a matter of choice after all.....

my 2 cents on this topic

cheers
